	JockBio: Jimmy Rollins Biography
		Jimmy is a volatile mix of old-school work habits and new-school flair, a baseball non-conformist who drops hip-hop lines on 60-year-old reporters, but also worships the game’s all-time greats.
		Jimmy led the NL in triples and at-bats, but his stolen bases dropped to 31 when he became tentative after being thrown out several times in a row.
		Jimmy loves to hit and is disinclined to take a walk, which means when he hits a slump, he has no dependable way of getting on base.

	Jimmy Rollins - Where's the Drive? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Rollins looks more likely at this point to rip off a 38 game HITLESS streak than a 38 game hitting streak and I'm sure many of his owners are restless at this point.
		Rollins has shown the ability to drive home runs at the same rate as in the past and to drive all of his fly balls further getting them out of the infield at a very nice clip.
		Those increased walks mean that Rollins will not only be on base more often but he'll also get better pitches to hit as pitchers realize that he's more selective than he's been in the past.

	Rollins' pursuit of DiMaggio comes to end - Boston.com
		Rollins' pursuit of DiMaggio's 65-year-old record ended Thursday when he went 0-for-4 in Philadelphia's 4-2 loss to St. Louis, snapping a 38-game hitting streak that stretched over two seasons and caused some debate.
		Some thought Rollins had a tougher task because he had to wait six months between games, and cold weather early in the season makes it difficult for hitters.
		Rollins' season-ending 36-game hitting streak was the ninth-longest over one season in big league history, and the longest in the majors since 1987, when Paul Molitor hit safely in 39 consecutive games.

		Rollins, after playing his usual Gold Glove-caliber defense and putting up big offensive numbers, says his No. 1 individual goal for 2005 is to score 150 runs, a gigantic number that would dwarf his 2004 total of 119, which was third best in the National League.
		Rollins stole a career-high 46 in 54 attempts as a rookie in 2001.
		But as Rollins was pressed for more thoughts about stealing, he eventually took it to mean he has the green light to take off whenever he wants.

		Jimmy Rollins made it clear this week that he will not commit right now, long-term, to the organization.
		Rollins is solid defensivly, though, ill give you that--never had more than 14 errors in a year.
		Rollins IMO is a huge upgrade over Neifi and he gives us a much needed leadoff hitter, but I know it will cost a lot to get him and another player from the Phils.

	Balls, Sticks, & Stuff \| Phillies, Eagles, golf and other matters of great importance...: Jimmy Rollins
		Earlier today, I accused Jimmy Rollins of throwing his young teammates under the bus based on comments he made to a local reporter.
		The fact that Rollins’ increased his walk and doubles rates after the streak started suggests that, besides a employing a better swing, he also had a better feel for the strike-zone and knew what pitches he could drive and couldn’t drive, a bugaboo throughout his career.
		Rollins digs in for the first pitch, the pitcher takes the sign from the catcher, winds up...it's a high fastball and rather than take the pitch and work the count, Rollins swings, popping the pitch up to the second baseman.

	Beyond the Box Score :: Jimmy Rollins: Legit Star?
		Jimmy Rollins is in the midst of a 31 game hit streak that has made him a media darling.
		It looks like Rollins is bobbing and weaving all over the place, until you realize the difference between his worst season and his best season (I ignored his 14 game performance in 2000, which skewed the data greatly) is only 4.18 NRAA.
		Rollins contract is a product of the market, but I do think Ed Wade had a chance to shift the market back in a more sane direction, or move Rollins whose perceived value is much higher than his actual value, rather than Placido Polanco, who the opposite can be said of.
